Canon Beach then gave the benediction, and his Royal Highness departed, the guards presenting arms, and the National Anthem being again played by the band.

HISTORY OF ITALIAN CONVENT

A little while ago (see 29-19-34) the history of the French Convent - founded as L'Asile de la Sainte Enfance - was given in this series and it is intended now to give a summary of the history of the Italian Convent, otherwise known as the Cannossian Institute. This institution has now been in Hongkong just on seventy-five years, for it was started here in 1860.

The golden jubilee was celebrated in 1910, on which occasion, speaking of the good work done in the Colony, the S.C.M. Post, in its issue of April 12, stated:

"Among the many bodies in the Colony which have for their object the education and uplifting of the young, in addition to the asylum given to the poor, is the Italian Convent. Much good work has been done by this institution, and as its scope has increased since the date of its inception fifty years ago, so almost in proportion to such extension of work has its charitable and educational facilities been enlarged. It would be a work of supererogation to endeavour to detail the work done by this institution; suffice it for us to say that the results of this past and present labours may be met with on every hand. These most feelingly acknowledge the benefits they have received at the hands of the gentle sisters who have devoted their lives to benefitting others without any gain to themselves except the knowledge of having done their duty - a duty which those who have had the upbringing of the young know to be no sinecure.
